The Sessions panel

The Sessions panel displays a list of all existing Kate sessions and allows to manage them easily.

The Sessions panel consists of a toolbar at the top followed by the list of known sessions. The active session is marked by an icon on its right.

Please note that the active session and the currently selected session in the list may not be the same. The difference is important because most of the session commands work on the currently selected session and not on the active session.

The session toolbar

It contains the following toolbar buttons:

New

Creates a new session and switch to it.

Save

Save the current session.

Save as

Save the selected session as a new session. A checkbox allows to choose whether to switch to the new session after saving or not.

Rename

Rename the selected session.

Delete

Delete the selected session. If the active session is deleted, a new session will be automatically created.

Reload

Reload the active session from the last saved state.

Activate

Close the active session and switch to the selected one. The same action can be performed by activating the selected session entry in the list using the mouse of the Enter key.

Toggle read only

Allows to set whether the selected session is read only or not. A read only session will not change its properties and can't be saved, although documents can be edited and saved as normal. This option is great for creating template sessions.

Move up

Move the selected session one position up in the list.

Move down

Move the selected session one position down in the list.
